  "One day late in Autumn, in morning's first dew,
        A wind blew the branch of the tree where I grew.
        And all of a sudden, it happened so fast!
        I fell from the tree in that wind's final blast."
      "I not only fell off the tree on that day,
          The wind blew me far,--- quite a distance away.
          I landed down softly on mushy soft dirt,
          A little bit shaky, though not at all hurt."
      "I quietly rested with no one around........................
        Unnoticed, alone------ by myself---on the ground.
        And--- then a young child named Timmy McToil,
        Walked by, 
        and stepped down, pushed me into the soil.
